Seems Roku Stick can play the Amazon Video Stream, BUT can it play in HD. Amazon videos can be played in browsers, but due to lack of DHCP not in HD.

It plays it in HD with surround sound. In fact Amazon looks and sounds better than Netflix on the stick.

Not without help. You will need a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or an Xbox that has the Amazon Prime app on it. You plug the device into the HDMI port of the TV and then you can watch Amazon Instant Videos.

Are there any Roku streaming players that support the wired LAN cable going to the TV? According to this article http://www.wired.com/2014/12/make-the-most-of-your-roku/ the streaming stick is supposed to support wireless or wired connection through your TV. Is it only the VUDU edition that doesn't connect thru a wired connection?

You would need to download an app designed to work with Amazon video streaming service. Unlike the Roku which has its own onlinestore for different channels, I'm not too sure how this would work on the Netgear.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

No not Amazon, it streams everything else well if you have a decent wifi or ethernet connection. I hooked up a blu-ray player that plays Amazon.

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

The RCA Wi-fi device does not allow you to stream Amazon.com movies. You can stream only Netflix, Vudu, Hulu Plus, You Tube videos, as well as Pandora music. I wish it did stream Amazon. When i want to view a movie through Amazon, I have to use my computer or my Kindle Fire device.

The streaming stick works very nicely if you have a TV with the proper port. It has similar functionality to the Roku 3, although the Roku 3 will upscale to 1080 resolution, which the stick will not.

with a Roku or some other similar device - I believe Amazon may have an Amazon branded product that performs the same function, but they all essentially are independent devices that connect to your WiFi and allow you to sign on to your streaming service of choice for output to your video device ( the Roku 3 is the only one I have direct experience with, and it has so far proven excellent for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo and a number of other services ).

No, I don't think a Roku device will stream everything that's on the internet. It only streams channels that are programmed into its memory. Look at Roku's website and it will show which channels each device can stream.

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...

According to Roku's Web site: Roku HD-XR Capable of Playing 1080P HD Video (via free upgrade later this year)http://www.roku.com/roku-products#2

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

I watch amazon instant videos on this from a roku. The tv itself is not Internet enabled.

Netflix and Plex are generally okay, but I get stuttering on Amazon probably 50% of the time which is unbearable. I would guess that this unit has a weak CPU that struggles to handle some Amazon encodes @ 1080p. I don't have this issue at all with a Roku 3 and that unit feels much snappier overall.
